Mac OS aliases creation and reading from node.js

node-alias

Mac OS aliases creation and reading from node.js

Attention

This library does currently not handle the book\0\0\0\0mark\0\0\0\0-header. It only does manipulation on the raw alias data.

I intend to add something like alias.write(buf, path) and alias.read(path).

Installation

npm install macos-alias

Usage

var alias = require('macos-alias');

API

alias.create(target)

Create a new alias pointing to target, returns a buffer.

(This function performs blocking fs interaction)

alias.decode(buf)

Decodes buffer buf and returns an object with info about the alias.

alias.encode(info)

Encodes the info-object into an alias, returns a buffer.

alias.isAlias(path)

Check if the file at path is an alias, returns a boolean.

(This function performs blocking fs interaction)

Hacking

Clone the repo and start making changes, run node-gyp to build the project.

node-gyp rebuild

Tests

mocha

node-alias's Issues

Assertion Errors

Example:

• I created an alias with macOS Big Sur / MacBook Air M1
• In the node script I read the buffer with fs.readFileSync(pathToAliasFile)
• I performed decode() on the buffer

... and received the following error:

Library using an earlier version of nan

Hi,
(Sorry to bother you again.)
This library can't be installed in io.js v3.x as it uses an older version of nan.

This library is needed by ds-store which is used by node-appdmg.

Thanks a lot!

"npm install -g macos-alias" also fails

Hi
I have an issue which is probably related to the space in my hard-drive (nodejs/node-gyp#65).
The fix normally is to install globally:
npm install -g macos-alias

But this fails also..
The npm-debug.log shows that it [email protected] is installed but when it needs to install macos-alias
291 info lifecycle [email protected]~install: Failed to exec install script
and starts to rollback (rollbackFailedOptional)
But besides that not helpful.

But when I look at the output from my terminal:

→ npm install -g macos-alias

> [email protected] install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/macos-alias
> node-gyp rebuild

make: *** No rule to make target `../../../../../../Volumes/Data', needed by `Makefile'.  Stop.

the last line seems odd, because I was trying to stop the install from looking for my "Data HD"

cannot install on MacOS Sierra

Hi!

The command:

npm install macos-alias

Returns following errors:

[email protected] install /Users/pasha/ZergFWD/node_modules/macos-alias

New method to get Volume Name

The Volume Name currently is an empty string for the root path, (should be e.g. Macintosh HD).

Mounted volume that got a number appended to it also gets wrongly detected, (e.g. Test Title 1 when it should be Test Title).

Hi,

I'm getting an error when trying to require the module with node 6.3.0 and 6.4.0.

I've tried removing node_modules and doing npm cache clean. I've tried running node-gyp rebuild in the directory but to no avail. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Volume with names longer than 27 characters

How should this be handled?

add isAlias

It could be fs.ReadStream-based so that scanning the first chunk(s) for 62 6F 6F 6B 00 00 00 00 6D 61 72 6B 00 00 00 00 ^[reference] can be performed prior to the file being fully loaded, followed by closing the stream.

I haven't used this library yet as supporting aliases quickly became more complicated than I'd thought it would be (I thought that they were symlinks!). Which leads me to my next question: can this library at least be installed on other operating systems?

Xcodebuild error when installing.

Having an issue when installing create-dmg and issues seems to being caused by macos-alias.
